Nawazuddin Siddiqui's statement on being the 'highest paid' actor confirms that hardwork pays off one day

Nawazuddin Siddiqui is on a promotional spree for his next release Babumoshai Bandookbaaz. The actor feels that presently is the highest paid actor in Bollywood in terms of acting. Sharing his mind on Bollywood considering him as highest paid actor, Nawazuddin said “I am the highest paid actor in the industry as far as acting is concerned. I did not have to ask. They (filmmakers) themselves started paying me this.”

Nawazuddin further added, “I do not know why there is an inferiority complex among us… Everybody here wants to work in Hollywood and become big. I can’t understand why we have this complex. When we watch films from a powerful country, we feel somewhat inferior. We think our films are not up to their level, but at present, we should feel proud of our films. We are making films with very good content here.”

The actor has also been in news for his intimate scenes with actress Bidita Bag. Nawazuddin said, “I felt uncomfortable initially while doing kissing scenes, but became used to it.”

Nawazuddin also spoke on actress Chitrangada Singh walking out of the film. He said, “she left when half of the shooting was over. Actually, our director (Kushan Nandy) wanted some more kissing scenes, and she said, ‘Enough is enough, I won’t be able to do any more scenes, and left’.”

He also wonders why the Indian film industry is obsessed with Hollywood.”I do not know why there is an inferiority complex among us… Everybody here wants to work in Hollywood and become big. I can’t understand why we have this complex. When we watch films from a powerful country, we feel somewhat inferior. We think our films are not up to their level, but at present, we should feel proud of our films. We are making films with very good content here,” Nawazuddin added.
